Sam

Sam was, in the Book of Mormon, the third son of Lehi and the older brother of Nephi. In 600 BC, Sam followed his family from Jerusalem into the wilderness, and, along with Nephi, he supported his father against their rebellious older brothers, Laman and Lemuel. Nephi confided in Sam, and Lehi saw a vision of Sam eating from the Tree of Life, meaning that he was righteous and would be saved. In Central America, he became one of the ancestors of the Nephites.
